Thailand’s economy
- Thailand has a free market economy, with the private sector being the main sector. Growing exports, government spending and consumer spending have formed a basis for economic growth. Thai exports rose slightly in 2013, in particular export to the ASEAN countries and China increased sharply.
- The economic policy of the government of Thailand is aimed at increasing economic growth by stimulating domestic demand, so as to become less dependent on external influences. For a country that until now has always been heavily dependent on exports and foreign investment this will not be an easy task. The government tries to boost domestic consumption through much public spending. Other goals include rural development and improving the living standards of the poor.
- Due to increased consumer spending and strong economic growth, the labour market experienced a recovery. Unemployment is the highest in North and Northeast Thailand and the lowest in and around the capital Bangkok.
